Me and my daughter played this one and Desdemona would always disappear fighting monsters way on the other side of the map. So now, we have an inside joke saying, "where's Desdemona?!" That game was so fun.
Dragon quest is a consistently brilliant franchise. The main series has pretty much no bad games and the spin offs are just as good, from dragon quest monsters to builders, heroes, treasures and even rocket slime. You just can't get wrong with a dragon quest game.
Rocket slime better
I only expérienced Dragon Quest XI, Heroes 1 and Treasures ( i dont remember well Monsters 1 since i was a child but i remember finding it difficult at the time 😊 ).
So far, XI combat system is really good , i did enjoyed Heroes 1 at the begining of the Year and just bought 2. As for Treasures, i thought it was Okey, but the story was boring : it is the reason i did not finished it ..
I could not pass DQ 11 prologue because i have other games to finish but i have been thinking frequently about it oher the years and when i bought it ( Beginning of 2022 ) just as frequently 😜
It is a very very long game so i would like to expérience it the best i can.
The Next Dragon Quest Games which interests me are Dragon Quest Infinity Strash ( even though i never read the Manga nor watched the Animé ) and the Remake of Dragon Quest 3 although to be honest 5 always intrigued me more but still, another turn/turn combat ! I have been very interest into it since Yakuza 7 ❤😊
@@Pablo-ig7tx Treasures is hit and miss i can see some people not liking it that much but I'm a simple dude, i see numbers going up and I'm happy. Waiting for the same games, although it feels like the remake was announced ages ago and we didn't saw anything since then. There is also a new DQ monsters on the horizon which takes place in the world of DQ 4. DQ 5 is amongst the fanbases favorites, maybe even the most beloved one outright so I'm willing to bet you will see a remake sooner or later, maybe they are going full 3d for that one.
Welcome to the fanbase!
The Dragon Quest Heroes games were awesome! Btw for anyone who got PSN Premium they got DQ Heroes 1+2 included for free as part of the plan I found out when I was browsing around one day on PSN. It's awesome playing a game like DQ Heroes that has many of the DQ heroes and characters.
And the explorer edition which comes with all dlc I just got it
Thank you for making this video. I played DQH 2 when it first came out and then recently replayed it this october.
This game is such a banger its insane how good of a fusion this game manages to be with the musou and dq formulas
I feel like the best crossover Musou games are the ones that really lean into what makes the franchise they're adapting special.
Also, I actually picked this up for dirt cheap a few years ago, I really need to play it sometime soon
Focusing on what makes a franchise special ... absolutely. Really wish Capcom was able to do that with Breath of Fire. It's like they had completely lost touch with that franchise until it malnourished and died.
I remember playing DQ heroes 1, and after getting everything in the game and the platinum trophy, I waited what felt like forever to get the sequal, and enjoyed every minute of DQ Heroes 2.
Which do you like more 1 or 2? And is 2 objectively better? Can't decide which one to buy.
I loved the Heroes games so much. I really wish they’d make another one.
So far looking good David! Glad to see everything's back!
Played it and absolutely loved it! The fact that this entry imported jobs from the numbered entries makes it even more special. The game itself has a good amount of tweaking with accessories being the main means to customize your character aside from the aforementioned jobs.
Persona 5 strikers hyrule warriors and the sequel age of calamity and the two fire emblem warriors games u should check those out u might like them as well
I loved this game and the first one. Such fun games to play. Dragon Quest being my favourite series certainly helps out with that haha. Great video and loving that Wagon Wheels March at the end. ❤️
Completely agreed, I wish DQ Heroes hadn’t been slept on!
This is such a fun a game. The colors are so vibrant and the characters are beautifully designed.
This particular game style hasn't normally gotten my interest, however I saw a livestream a while back with this game and it looked like it was a lot of fun. I do have some concern that SE will go more this route with mainline Dragon Quest games and that is not what I want. The side series nature of this kind of game is perfect, I like this as a standalone alternative to the main games. Thanks for the motivation to go pick this up David, great video!
Why do you have that concern?
Dragon quest 12 is rumored to be an action rpg instead of turnbased😢😢😢
@@DzNutz503 At this point I'm happy with any kind of new dragon quest content. It's been more than 5 years since the last
The primary thing with DQ is tradition. Some people hate it for that but if they abandon the core gameplay loop, many fans will be furious. I personally have no interest in a dragon quest mainline title that isn’t turn based.
With 12, they’ve said it is going to be more adult. That tells me it won’t be an action rpg but a more complex, difficult turn based title with more mature themes. Any rumors you hear are merely rumors, nothing more. I’ll believe only what is directly said by those working on, producing, and distributing the title.
Final Fantasy should take note of that. The mainline games should stay turned-based. While other spinoffs can be whatever they want.
This was a play from day 1 game for me. Back when you could post trophies and achievements on Facebook (the ones I posted still pop up on memories)
I'm playing through the first one right now, and the second is on my shelf waiting 😊
I really wish they would localize Dragon Quest Heroes 1 and 2 on the Switch.
I wish they would as well!
I used this video to explain the Heroes games to my bro. Well done video my dude 🤘
Love this game, and I can't wait for Treasures!!!
I’ll look into Monsters, Heroes and Builders at some point. Currently enjoying DQ8 on the 3DS. Will play 11 on the Switch after I beat FFXII: TZA. So many games, so little room on its hard drive.
I remember playing this for the first time a couple years ago! As my 4th dragon quest game, i didn't get many references, but i had a blast playing it! And if you're lucky enough to find people playing online, even the online quests are fun! The only times i ever disliked it were when i was looking for specific equipments and materials, and grinding exp, but that's to be expected.
Played both on the Switch, loved them !
I cant wait to play this game !
Going on 40 this year. I too, am done with complicated crafting. Just busywork (in most cases ... I will always try to keep an open mind though)
This slipped my radar, but after seeing this review I'm thinking about purchasing it when I can get it.
I DQ Hero’s 1 and loved it, I was big into the mushu style games at the time. And then I heard DQ Hero’s 2 was coming out, but I let it slip through the cracks of my game playing. I had honestly forgotten about it before this video.
Buy the game is back on radar and to be played….just need to find some time, it has been an amazing year for JRPGs
David is right on as usual. I played this without playing the first one and sunk over 100 hours into it. I just regret not finishing it, the last RPG of any kind I finished was DQXI. Tactics Ogre Reborn is my current play and I will likely beat the game but won't finish all routes/recruits/etc for a while. Triangle Strategy was amazing but only have 1 of the 4 endings
I WISHHH they would just bring this to switch in the west already
Probably Rocket Slime is more underplayed (not to mention more lovable).
DQH1 was... meh. there's some fun to be had, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. The sequel? AMAZING! Literally everything that was wrong in the first game was fixed. You can move around much faster! Job system! Exploration worth a damn! Item creation that doesn't give you random stats! One of the most kickass magic knight implementations I've seen in an action rpg with Cesar! Oh, and I love that rendition of the DQ1 world map music they throw at you late in the game!
I was hoping we'd get an announcement for a third entry during that anniversary celebration last year, but no such luck, I guess. And could you imagine if they added Chrono Trigger into the mix? It's not like the character designs would clash or anything, seeing as they had the same designer. Oh well. One can dream...
Just got this on psplus and it's great so far!
Oh wow, I didn't know about the Heroes games!
Loved this game on ps vita
Great video! Love this game! Anyone who has the extra PlayStation Plus tier, this and the first one (if you want to play it) are free to play with the service.
Though I never got around to beating it, this game was a fun romp. Ideally, I'd like to play a Dragon Quest game that played either like some of the latest Ys games or like the remake of Secret of Mana 2.
I downloaded it for ‘free’ in the PSN catalog after watching this video and holy crap dude. This game is phenomenal. I LOOOOVE mindless musou games and their fancier crossovers like P5 Strikers. And I also LOOOOOVE Dragon Quest. So this is the game I knew nothing about but always wanted. The attention to detail is S tier and the combat is so much fun. I hope they decide to make a DQH3 and include my best bro Sylvando. I can’t believe this game just slipped under the radar. But since it is a musou derived game, I can understand why. Thanks for the recommendation and keep up the excellent videos!
Hi David! I've always wonder what DQHs games were like. One of my favorite rpg franchises is DQ, especially DQ8. Anyway, I used to love playing Dynasty Warriors back in the day (not so much now though), but maybe I'd like this one?
Thanx for pointing this one out. It looks like it’s included with my PS+ Extra sub, so I’ll definitely check it out. I haven’t played many DQ games, mor of an early FF games guy. Thanx
There is a recent anime that is like 100 episodes in btw. I've watched the first ten or so. It's pretty good so far.
Great game got it for the ps3 and the ps4 BTW ps4 version much better
One piece has warriors games on the ps4 u can check those out there fun too
I'm actually playing this game right now
My dad thought it was an anime when I was playing this when it came out he also thought resident evil 6 was a cg movie lol he was so mad when he found out I was playing a game and had to sit there and watch me play to go through all the cutscenes 😆😆😆
The best dragon quest game people (probably) haven’t played is DQ monsters battle road ;P
Nice video tho!
In the UK we didn't get the main series until 8.
The first main game I played was 4, on the DS. But Monsters Joker was the first DQ I had. Loved the series since. I prefer it to Final Fantasy now.
Its out on ps plus extra I tried it a bit seems like great dragon quest game
I've always wanted to play these Heroes games, but to my knowledge, they never localized them for the Switch. Is it worth buying the Japan release? Thank you for the video!
I notice they bring in characters from other dq games...what about the main protagonist do they appear?
Ive been waiting forever for this game to go on sale on steam
I may cave eventually but there hasn't been enough buzz for me to pay full price for it and there's also no shortage of Musou games in general
Im ready to cave lol
I still want to play this one pretty bad and it still hasn't gone on sale
I have to say dragon quest builders two is the best one for me, but this is really cool though
Would only buy on sale on steam
I actually have this game, but my backlog is large.
i love dragon quest heroes 2 and i want a heroes 3
Title says DQ2, but you put the boxart for the first game-
I have two questions:
1. How is the PC port ?
2. Is there a reason to play Dragon Quest Heroes 1 before the sequel ? Any story continuity ?
I think if you have a save file of the first game, then you can play as the heroes of DQH1. Not sure about story.
“It can be hard and deeply satisfying.” My man you can’t softball a that’s what she said joke in there like that lol.
i like simple warriors games, most tend to ruin it with too much grinding or annoying RPG mechanics design. that wastes players time."
warriors orochi ultimate 3 for example. had potential to be great. but several design choices hold it back for anyone who actually respect their free time and doesn't want it wasted.
I have the platinum trophy on dragonquest heroes 2 ps4
This is so weird my husband just surprise me with a PS5 and I forgot that I had this game on my catalog and so I downloaded it today and then I saw your video I was like wow
Great vid, I enjoyed watching it. I actually liked 1 better. I personally felt the open world in 2 stretched itself too thin. I found the combat mechanics in these game are really basic, so to me, the satisfaction came from killing large mobs by the thousands, which was better in the first game. In the second game, I kill a mob then have to hoof it to find another one or wait for respawn, where in 1, they just come to me in droves. That's just me though, I like DW/Musou games, which most likely explains it lol
I own the first one but never played it much, I bought it cause evil Square Enix literally said the west would never get 7 and 8 3D unless Heroes 1 sold well 😭
Never did play it before. Seen it a few times as a discount game now these days so maybe end of year sale on PS.
David, one day you should do the impossible, make a video about decent jrpgs on mobile phones that ARENT ports
Hey Dave, sorry, this isn't about this video. But I thought I'd update you on a passed LP you did, final fantasy 4 ultimate romhack, you probably already know but the game is so far updated now, it's a huge success it's even got retroarch atchememts now.
DQ heroes 2 is such a great game no one ever talks about!
I played it though
Liar i played it and i LOVED it
Personally I enjoyed Heroes 1 more than 2, due to it being concentrated on the musou/tower defense part, which I think it did really really well. Heroes 2 diluted the formula and traveling the open world was not as satisfying as it needed to be and the combat system didn't feel like it fit the more spread out and sparse enemy-groups in it. Sadly never got far into 2 because of that which is too bad since I enjoyed the first one so much. I also liked the cast of 1 more. 2 felt a bit more like they scraped together the characters they had left, which some returning members from 1 too. Having Torneko was nice though.
Is Bianca in DQH 2 as well?
Literally bought it last night. Weird timing
Not sure I like the active battle system. Doesn't really feel like a dragon quest game without the battle system in place.
i played it
Except the fact that I did play
sentinels of the starry skies is the best actually
MUSOU crossovers can be mediocre or great & both DQ Heroes games are worth owning in DQ fans collection. DQH2 really evolved everything they did right from DQH1. 150+Hrs in the original w/my son over a couple years and still content to unlock ☠️
I loved Heroes and Heroes 2. 2 was a little better, great games though!
Loved the first heroes. Own the second and played it for a couple hours then stopped for some reason and have meant to get back to it...for like 4 years. Your video made me cringe remembering the unfinished game backlog
:0
However its not for me.
Cool but you never mentioned what system its on.
Only like 8 and 11was ok but those ones on the wii.... god damn they sucked
How could it be possible nobody ever played dragon quest heroes 1 that’s the dragon quest game that changed me from hating dragon quest games to loving them I gave dragon quest X1 one more chance it didn’t fail it’s the best dragon quest game now I’ll buy dragon quest 12 when it gets released the NES-PS2 had the worst dragon quest games ever finally square Enix doesn’t make their rpg games suck anymore
After trying DQ11, every DQ will be a DQ I never play.
